SDSoC Development Environment Requirements and Setup

The 2019.1 SDSoC™ development environment software release consists of the SDx™ IDE and command-line tools for developing and delivering hardware accelerated embedded processor applications using standard programming languages.

The SDSoC environment also includes the Vivado® Design Suite, which is used for programming the target devices and for developing custom hardware platforms.

TIP: The version of the Vivado tools installed by the SDx installation is the standard version of the Vivado Design Suite that can be installed as a separate product. If you are using both the SDSoC environment and the Vivado tools just install the SDSoC environment as described here.
